"All of Us Are Immigrants" - C. Daniel Boling
From the album "Love, Dan"
by C. Daniel Boling release November 22, 2024 on Berkalin Records
ALL OF US ARE IMMIGRANTS
©2023 C. Daniel Boling - Perfectly Stable Music / ASCAP
Juan arrived from Cuba just a couple weeks ago
Ernesto came a few years back from deep in Mexico
Fernanda made it yesterday from six months on the run
She fled her home in Chile when the cartel killed her son
Tony’s parents came from China eight decades ago
He served the U.S. Government for 30 years or so
1889 without a penny in his hand
My great grandfather worked his passage here from Ireland
No one knows for sure when that first wand’ring, hunting band
Walked across the Bering Sea when part of it was land
They might have been excited and they may have been afraid
Like millions who came later on they put down roots and stayed
Fleeing persecution with a future far from certain
Or shackled in a slaving ship, kidnapped, sick and hurting
Or seeking out the great unknown, a youth of barely twenty
Leaving famine-stricken shores to find the land of plenty
All of us are immigrants no matter when we got here
Some of us came willingly and some of us were brought here
We may believe we should get more because we got here first
I have Native friends who say that’s not the way it works
No one knows for sure when that first wand’ring, hunting band
Walked across the Bering Sea when part of it was land
They might have been excited and they may have been afraid
Like millions who came later on they put down roots and stayed

Here's a little short-shelf-life ditty Tom Paxton and Daniel Boling wrote together and hope you'll enjoy for it's tongue-in-cheek humor, whatever your political persuasion.

      We still have some freedoms to be thankful for, but for how much longer, our USA government has been warmongering for centuries now, our native Americans are testament, breaking almost every treaty, our "Civil" war didn't stop the Jim Crow or the KKK from their evils either, the Spanish American war a proven false narrative upon the finding of battleship Maine and her self inflicted fatal explosion, no weapons of mass destruction ever found in Iraq. When we are not at war, we fund other people's wars. Exactly how precious is our democracy really ? Maybe it's time for a new experiment before another Dr Fauchi comes along and locks up what's left of liberty. Many of us voters are either not qualified for good decisions and/or spoonfed promises of lies by the satanic fake news industrial complex. We killed a lot of people to protect this seemingly precious democracy were supposed to have, how many of us support bombs for the state of Israel ?(Revelation 2:9 & 3:9, Romans 2:26-29) We don't get asked permission to warmonger, how many Afghan and Iraqi people did we murder after the DOMESTIC terrorists 9-11-01 demolition of all THREE world trade center buildings (See the University of Fairbanks Alaska WTC building 7 collapse study, they don't use the word explosives, but you will). I think it can reasonably be argued that our precious democracy has been at the heart of much global deaths and it is a plague that threatens to destroy the world. I do love most of my country folks, we the people never make these horrible decisions, it's always our jackass politicians who rise to the top like floating pieces of shit, they almost always lie to us and the killing soon begins once they've suckered us with their forked tongues. I recently seen a great Trump video, talking with church going folks saying at one point, vote me in office and you'll never have to vote again (perhaps I heard what I wanted). I'm willing to take another chance with The Don, maybe he can get us a more honorable form of government.

    The lack of audio from 26:30 to 27:01 is brought to you be the fine folks at Operator Error. They often collaborate with me on technically challenging projects such as this one! And at 27:02 when I speak of "Ellen" (my wife's name) please mentally replace that with "Elizabeth" (my sister's name). Now back to your scheduled programing ... DAN'L

    So beautiful, so timely. It is about time that realize that we don't know how. We all need all others to start anew. What we know got us here, what we don't know (yet) holds promise for the future. Malinda shared your music with me a number of years ago. Your guitar picking on this song was exquisite also. Malinda and I were family friends in Germany in the mid-50s, before I had any social awareness or skills, but I do remember being very nervous around Melinda. Probably because I really liked her! Thanks for your presence and writing and playing!
